Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in the Preface section.
Removal Procedure
Caution: For safety reasons, the brake pressure modulator valve assembly must
not be repaired, the complete unit must be replaced. With the exception of
the EBCM, no screws on the brake pressure modulator valve assembly
may be loosened. If screws are loosened, it will not be possible to get the
brake circuits leak-tight and personal injury may result.
- Turn OFF the ignition.
Important: The area around the electronic brake control module (EBCM) must be free from loose dirt to prevent contamination of disassembled ABS components.
- Thoroughly clean all contaminants from around the EBCM.
Notice: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice in the Preface section.
Caution: Brake fluid may irritate eyes and skin. In case of contact, take the
following actions:
• | Eye contact--rinse thoroughly with water. |
• | Skin contact--wash with soap and water. |
• | If ingested--consult a physician immediately. |
Important: Record the location of all brake pipes to the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) for use as an aid during installation.
- Remove the 2 master cylinder brake pipes (3) from the BPMV (1).
- Clean any brake fluid spillage from the BPMV (1).
- Raise and support vehicle. Refer to
Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle
in General Information.
- Remove the air deflector shield. Refer to
Front Air Deflector Replacement
in Body Front End.
- Remove the wheelhouse liner. Refer to
Front Wheelhouse Liner Replacement
in Body Front End.
Important: It is not necessary to remove the washer solvent container from the vehicle.
- Remove the washer solvent container bracket. Refer to
Windshield Washer Solvent Container, Washer Pump, and Solvent Level Switch Replacement
in Wipers/Washer Systems.
- Remove the 4 wheel brake pipes (2) from the BPMV (1).
Notice: To prevent equipment damage, never connect or disconnect the wiring
harness connection from the EBCM with the ignition switch in the ON
position.
- Press the retainer on the EBCM electrical connector (1).
- Rotate the EBCM connector tab (2) forward to the unlocked position.
- Disconnect the EBCM electrical connector (1) from the EBCM and position out of the way.
- Remove the front BPMV bracket nuts.
- Remove the EBCM/BPMV assembly (1) from the BPMV bracket.
- Remove and discard the 4 EBCM to BPMV screws.
- Clean the surface of the EBCM/BPMV assembly.
- Remove the EBCM (1) from the BPMV (2).
Installation Procedure
- Clean the seal surface of the BPMV.
- Install the EBCM (1) to the BPMV (2).
- Make sure that the internal pump motor connector (3) is installed into the new EBCM (1) prior to EBCM replacement.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
Important: Use New EBCM/BPMV screws after separating the EBCM from the BPMV.
- Install the 4 NEW EBCM to BPMV screws.
Tighten
Tighten the 4 NEW EBCM to BPMV screws in sequence (1-4) to 5 N·m (44 lb in).
Important: Make sure that the rubber isolator is installed on the BPMV. The isolator protects the EBCM/BPMV assembly from vehicle vibrations.
- Install the EBCM/BPMV assembly (1) to the BPMV bracket.
- Install the BPMV bracket nuts (2).
Tighten
Tighten the BPMV nuts to 10 N·m (89 lb in).
Notice: To prevent equipment damage, never connect or disconnect the wiring
harness connection from the EBCM with the ignition switch in the ON
position.
- Connect the EBCM electrical connector (1) to the EBCM (2).
- Rotate the EBCM connector tab (2) rearward to the locked position.
Caution: The brake pipes must be fully installed to the brake pipe mounting retainers on the frame. Failure to properly retain the brake pipes may cause the pipes to contact the frame and/or the transmission resulting in possible loss of brake fluid and personal injury.
Caution: Make sure brake pipes are correctly connected to BPMV. If brake pipes
are switched by mistake Inlet vs. Outlet, wheel lockup will occur
and personal injury may result.
Important: If a new BPMV is being installed, remove the shipping plugs from the valve openings.
- Install the 4 wheel brake pipes (2) to the BPMV (1) using the locations recorded during the removal procedure.
Tighten
Tighten the wheel brake pipes to 27 N·m (20 lb ft).
- Install the washer solvent container bracket. Refer to
Windshield Washer Solvent Container, Washer Pump, and Solvent Level Switch Replacement
in Wipers/Washer Systems.
- Install the wheelhouse liner. Refer to
Front Wheelhouse Liner Replacement
in Body Front End.
- Install the air deflector shield. Refer to
Front Air Deflector Replacement
in Body Front End.
- Lower the vehicle.
- Install the 2 master cylinder brake pipes (3) to the BPMV (1) using the locations recorded during the removal procedure.
Tighten
Tighten the master cylinder brake pipes to 27 N·m (20 lb ft).
- If equipped with a brake fluid pressure sensor (4), connect the electrical connector.
- Fill and bleed the hydraulic brake system. Refer to
Master Cylinder Reservoir Filling
and
Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding
in Hydraulic Brakes.
- Perform the Auto Bleed Procedure. Refer to
Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed Procedure
.
- Perform the System Check-Vehicle. Refer to
Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
in Vehicle DTC Information.
